If you have only recently learned how to cast on, then do not immediately take on complex patterns, practice making neat front and back rows. For this, stocking knitting is best suited. With it, you can hone the skill of a set of basic (front and back) loops. In addition, you will fill your hand and soon you will be able to knit so that they are all even. Don't think that you won't need this skill. You will get beautiful and neat products only if you learn how to knit the same loops. In addition, it is stocking knitting that will help you learn how to work with knitting needles quickly.

For those who take their first steps in mastering the technique of creating interesting things from ordinary threads, detailed instructions will come in handy. So, if you are interested in the technique of stocking knitting, then most likely you have already learned how to cast on loops. Now is the time to find out what needs to be done next. So, dial on 2 knitting needles at least 20 or 30 loops. A smaller number, although it will help save a little time and labor, will not make it possible to create knitting patterns that are suitable in size on knitting needles, to adequately evaluatethe result obtained and to work out the skills qualitatively.

When you have cast on the required number of loops, pull out one knitting needle and look at what you have. On the one hand (front) the work should be smooth, and on the other, a number of knots have formed. Given the fact that knitting after a set of loops must be turned over, it is better to start the first row from the wrong side. Remove the first loop, insert the right knitting needle towards you into the next one, grab the thread that should go before work, and pull it into the loop. Do not forget to remove the knitted loop from the left knitting needle. But it's not stocking yet, it's just the first row.

Turning the future canvas over, start working on the front side. Remembering to remove the first loop, place the thread at the back of the product. Now you need to figure out how to knit facial. Insert the right needle into the second loop in front of its front wall, grab the thread and pull it through. As on the wrong side, do not forget to remove the knitted loop from the left knitting needle after that. In this way, you need to finish the entire row.

Having mastered the set of front and back loops, you will understand that stocking knitting is quite simple. You just need to alternate the rows so that only the front loops go on one side, and the wrong loops on the other. As a result, the drawing of the finished canvas looks like checkmarks on one side and dashes-knots on the other. Starting with the purl loops, remember that you will have to knit all the odd rows this way, the even ones will beit is necessary to knit facial. By the way, be prepared that the bottom of such a canvas will twist. That is why, when creating products, it is recommended to start with an elastic band or make a hard edge.

Stocking helps to identify all the mistakes of beginners. Too tight or, conversely, loose loops, their curvature and unevenness are striking from the front side of the product. You can get rid of them only with time, when you start knitting, without thinking about how, where and when you need to insert the knitting needle, grab and pull the thread. Then the process will go much faster, and the loops will only become neater.
